The video from 1953 in Tyrol is great.
I am from Upper-Austria. Skijöring has been very popular all around our area till the beginning of the 1970s. Safety was not that much in the forefront. It was more or less all about speed and giving gas. More and more laws and terms by the government, uncomprehending neighbours and also a lack of snow made it pretty difficult and expelled the Skijöring freaks.
That's a really big pity. I have sent pictures of Skijöring in my area.
Greetings from Vocklabruck.
